Hello everyone!
Following the relatively successful Zkittlez grow I did a couple of photoperiods (Bubba Kush) that also went well, and after a 2 month break, have just started my 4th grow, and 2nd diary.
On 11.12.2020 I popped 3 Sensiseeds Black Lights CBD/THC autos into a wet paper towel and less than 48 hours later, had all three come through with some strong results!
On 14.12.2020 I filled my Airpots with pre-wetted Biobizz Allmix, and planted the germinated seeds.
By evening on the 15.12.2020 the third seed had popped out, so, a full house, with all showing their cotyledons and tiny first leaves so, the TS1000 went on (at 25%) and so did the clip-on fan. Temps are 25C and RH ~70%. Lighting left on 24 hours for first day.
And so we begin, and I hope this is a fuss-free as the last autos, the Zkittlez, which were my first ever run.
For this run, I intend to start nutes at around week 3 or 4, and will be using Biobizz Fishmix this time, instead of grow, although my local hydro store said it's OK to use Grow and Fishmix together, but half ml/L of each to make up what would be the 1ml/L total. I'm not sure. I may just stick to Fishmix. I have time to research a bit more and if anyone can help, please do chip in!!
Looking forward to this!! ๐
I can confirm that BioBizz All-Mix might be a little bit too hot for this strain. I grew two Black Lights CBD Autos along with two Sensi Skunk Autos on my south-facing balcony last summer. All of them were started at the same time in small cups with BioBizz Light-Mix before I put them into 11l pots with BioBizz All-Mix two weeks after germination. Although I didn't fertilize, the Black Light CBD Autos showed signs of nitrogen toxicity, while the Sensi Sunk Autos were doing fine. In the end they recovered and although it could have been better, it was still a pretty good harvest.
@StuG69,
Yeah, this is going to be interesting. Iโve also seen autoflowers go into flower early and then turn into midgets because of stress caused by cool and rainy weather conditions lasting for several weeks. However, this fortunately wonโt be a problem when growing indoors.
Anyway, itโs good to hear that your runty girl is picking up :)
This has been my favorite strain so far, btw.
Good luck!
@Krautklaus,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I think perhaps I should have researched a little better before assuming that the straight to final pot - in Allmix - would be OK for this strain. I think assuming that as my other runs - Zkittlez autos and Bubba Kush (photoperiod) took off straight away in Allmix, the Black Lights CBD autos would too.
The above said, the runty girl is now showing signs of picking up but is still 50% behind in terms of size compared to the other two, but I am glad that I resisted the urge to pull her. It'll become interesting come harvest, if I have to run her extra time to flower as I use my tent for drying so I may have to start thinking of a plan B! ๐
@MarsHydroLED,
Hey, thanks! Loving the light - really get great results from the TS1000. Is the TS2000 that much of a step up for a 80cm X 80cm area? I can get 3 plants under the TS1000 but think maybe I could get at least one more with the TS2000 in the same space? Or maybe I should get a 1M X 1M tent and then run the TS2000 in it?
Thanks again. ๐
